Of surveyed companies, 64% want to expand their collaboration with external service providers further. The company needed airtight security with protection against malware and evasions with zero downtime to keep Switzerland’s economy—as well as the world’s—operating without a hitch. A security failure could lead to a network outage, hindering thousands of financial transactions for customer banks and costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Worse, a security breach could disrupt or even crash worldwide financial markets.

The enterprise energy provider, serving tens of millions of customers, faced multiple external and internal vulnerabilities to both the power grid and their multi-pronged operations. The cyber threats faced by all companies—like data loss and fraud—come with the added complexity of protecting critical infrastructure. Millions of people, companies, and government organizations depend on it, and failure is not an option. Breaches, downtime, and fraud can cause massive problems for both the enterprise and its customers, from loss of revenue and reputation to endangering human safety. Safeguarding sensitive customer information is always paramount; in this case, that includes a number of high-profile individuals whose home addresses or social security numbers make a tempting target for data thieves looking for a quick payday. Then, of course, there are the millions of dollars flowing through the company, including funds from the resale of renewable energy that could be fraudulently rerouted through altered direct deposit information. Finally, the company’s substations, not always managed by a human operator, run the risk of being taken over by an outside entity without the company knowing.
